In a closely contested match, the score was tied at 1-1 and 15-15 when umpire Mohamed Lahyani ruled that the ball had bounced twice before Draper attempted a drop shot. However, players at Indian Wells have the advantage of using video technology to challenge decisions regarding double bounces. After Draper immediately requested a replay, his challenge was upheld and the original decision was overturned. As a result, Draper was awarded the point, which gave him a 15-30 lead and eventually helped him secure a crucial break. Draper expressed gratitude for the video reviews, stating that they are “really good for tennis.” In the end, Alcaraz’s level of play declined as his attempt to win Indian Wells for the third consecutive year came to an end. Draper will now face Holger Rune, the 13th-ranked player, in the finals of the Masters 1,000 event in California, where Rune secured his fourth Masters final appearance with a victory over Daniil Medvedev.
